mencement.

One of the most pleasant events
of a college year is the commence
meut. They are social events that
are hailed with delight, not only by
the students of the school, but by
the friends of the inmates, who inn
prove these opportunities to evil
dence their esteem for the grand in
situations by participating in the
festivities of the occasion.
Our town may well congratulate
itself for possessing such an excel
lent institution as the John Steph

be congratulated over the success
and progress which the children
have made while under their super

The services on Monday morning
in the Hall, conducted by Miss Ne
liza Winder, consisted of music.
reading of compositions, recitations
by the younger pupils. The aptness
and the power of commemorative,
displayed by the little ones in rem
dering their programme, spoke well
for the ability and faithfulness of
their teacher. Notable features of
the entertainment were a Fan Drill,
conducted by Miss Henderson, and
the Calisthenic exercises under the

Two Million Gipsiss In America.

A"o "'BSfs' ~
That there are from one to two millions Of
Gypsies in America to-day is an assertion
] confidently make, based upon quarter
century's study Of, and more than three
years actual companionship with, this
people in their homes and tents and upon
the road; from careful inquiries in all
parts of the country, involving much cor
respondence; from actual lists Of Gypsy
families and heads of families in my
possession, and from moderate computa-
tions made with these aids, after careful
scrutiny by reliable Gypsy chiefs has been
secured. This is a startling statement to
thoughtful men.
The Gypsy has been merely regarded as
a romancer's bugaboo, or as only existing
among us as an occasional straggler along
the pleasant countrysides. But their pres
ence and marvellous growth IN numbers
must be recognized. They will shortly
comprise an important factor in social,
economic and ethic consideration. How
the sly fellows have come, is no especial
marvel when known. Before the Revo.
luton, several thousands were here.
During that period many thousands more
came as impressed British soldiers, de
serted and remained, or at the close Of
the war mustered themselves out and
merged into the large nucleus already
formed. These were the pioneers which
swiftly sent secret word TO every part Of
the inhabitable globe that America wa
the Gypsy's heaven, and to come TO Il
without delay.-Edgar L. Wakeman II

TIE sHAK EsPERIAN MYTH,

the editorial writer is fain to traverse
a wide range Of subjects for topic to

again with his Shakesperian cipher. 1t
may not be embarrassing to again ex-
anime his claim to respectful consider
alton. Shackspere is so large part of
the daily life Of all English-speaking
prophets that we make no apology for
considering Mr.. Donnelly's attack
upon him. Donnelly claims that
shakespere was simply a Dame-that
Lord Bacon was the actual author OF
the immortal poetry that has put the
name Of William SHAKESPEARE at the
very top OF the human race. We all
know the argument. 1t is simply q
reproduction Of the German VOLTS

MIGHT HAWK

The attention of breeders is called
to this trOtting bred stallion: His
color, black small star, little white
on inside of right hind foot; fully 1915
hands; weight about 100 pounds.
Foaled May, 1915, at Lodi, Wis. The
property of Clark BabcocK. Head
fine; neck long, and with a good
arch, set well upon a good pair of
shoulders; back short, with hips and
stiles immensely developed; legs
and feet perfectly sound and of the
true Black Hawk type. He has the
nervous action of the Morgan, with
the high knee action peculiar to the
Black Hawk family; has splendid
full name and tail. In short he is in
all respects, q very good representa-
tive of the old Vermont Black Hawk.
While he has plenty Of life, he is of a
mild disposition, gentle aud kind,
under all and any circumstances a
very fine driver.
Each and every breeder is requested
TO look at this stallion; look at him
in detail; from his nose, to the tip of
his tail. His color is black, one of
the handsomest and toughest cOlors.
Look at his large nostril his finely
shaped, we'll set, clean head: his
small ears; the breadth between his
eyes; the kindness which beams out
of those eyes; his beautifully arched
neck; his full chest; his slOpsd
shoulder; his short back; his long
hip; his beautifully formed rump !;
his fine tail and the style in which
he carries it; the space from his fore
to his hind legs, as compared with the
| length of his back; his clean, hard
hickory like legs, not q particle of
meat on them and lastly notice the
perfect soundness of his feet. If you
like the form and size of the horse,
ask for and receive copy of his pedi-
! gree and speed record. Night Hawk
will make tbs coming season at Halls
Ranch, except upon Wednesdays and
Saturdays when he will be in the
village of Morris. He will stand on
! his own merits as q getter of general
purpose horses brood mares, coschers
| and carriage horses.
Below is the opinion OF Mr.. Ladd,
in Wallace's Monthly by whose ex-
tended experience, both as q breeder
aad dealer, you will do well to profit.
He says; II am taught by experience
that good Morgan Stallion crossed
with miscellaneous lot of mares,
will get more horses that everybody
wants for industrial pursuits and
domestic necessities and enjOyments,
than any other.'
For further particulars apply to
either of the undersigned.

The Importance and good results
following the establishment of q new
industry in town are not eXaggera-
ted by contemporary, who says that
if it gives employment to one hundred
men that means an addition at least
four hundred to the population who
purchase goods at our stores and put
Il considerable amount Of money
weekly into the channels of trade.
Then from each Of these families go
letters and personal influences abroad,
advertising the city, giving others at
distant points an interest in the pro-
gress and occasionally attracting
some new citizen to add his capital
and labor to its general prosperity,
AS the children grow up they too
establish themselves here, or going
elsewhere still carry with them good
thoughts and good words TOR the city
from which they came. Sos hundred
fibres reach from such establishments
like rootlets from plant, drawing
nourishment from surrounding places
and contributing to the prosperous res
suits. Hence, talk up manufactures.
